The Quaternary Research Association (QRA), in association with the Society, would like to recognise the achievements of undergraduates in Quaternary science by awarding a dissertation prize (£250) for a thesis demonstrating flair and originality.

Further prizes (£50) are awarded for dissertations that are deemed ‘highly commendable’ by the judges (two prizes available).

This competition is open to any undergraduate enrolled at a British or Irish university. Membership of the QRA or the Society is not a requirement for entry.

The QRA welcomes nominations from all appropriate sources, including new universities or small departments.

The winner will be announced at the QRA Annual General Meeting (held annually each January) and it is expected that the winner will submit their dissertation abstract or a short article for publication in the Quaternary Newsletter.

Deadline: 4 October.
